Kid Jenson told listeners that producers had to abandon autograph signing sessions with the Wham stars after the clamour from crowds turned into ‘absolute madness’.

There were also mentions for Macclesfield Rafters, a group who were taking on a raft race on the River Wye for charity, and ‘audio postcards’ from Katrina Hayes from Rainow, Jan Firwood from Macclesfield and Chris Whitley from Bollington.

Macclesfield band New Order’s hit ‘Blue Monday’ was played and there was an interview with the late Dr John Clandillon, who found the Silk Heritage Trust.

There is also a special mention for Radio One production engineer Dick Wilson, who came from the town.

The audio recording was been shared by Simon Leah, from Macclesfield, who wasn’t at the road show, but recorded it on his tape player.
